I still have my membership plaque for The Arctic Ocean Golf and Country Club.

We used fluorescent orange golf balls to play.

Absolutely, Taft and Palm Ave. my cousins and best friend grew up living on that golf course. We were pretty young, but fished the hell out of it when I was there. The golf course ranger used to chase us on his golf cart all the time, and was very familiar with all of our parents. Now there’s peacock bass everywhere around there (and most of the other canals and lakes in the area), which weren’t there when we were kids.


My Grandmother lived in Century (Cemetery) Village on Pines just before I-75. We were able to get past the guard gate in front because of that and fish that course too. Caught a lot of fish there too.

I grew up east of there in Hollywood, closer to the beach. Because it was close to the salt, we had a ton of saltwater fish which either became landlocked or adapted to the freshwater. While the only game in town out west was catching bass, we caught bass plus tarpon, snook, jacks, snappers and an occasional shark on the East golf courses.

What I always failed to understand what’s why folks would pay a guide to go fish at the lake (Okeechobee), when we would out fish them 10 to 1 with larger fish fishing the local canals and lakes, plus catching saltwater fish too.

Guess I caught the fishing bug too early to be caught up with golf. My Grandfather played quite a bit, and took me along when I was young to drive the cart. I always brought a fishing rod and fished while he golfed.

Have you been stung by a bee between the first and second hole yet?

Gayer'n aids.

I used to hit one ball a day out into the horse pasture with my old 3 wood. Teed it up from my dirt two track driveway with my faithful retriever watching. One swing and away she'd go. 200 yards into the tall grass couldn't stop her. She'd drop that ball back where it was hit from every time.

That was the only golf I played for several years. Probably the most fun too.

Roughly.

I started out a 30 and now I'm at a 12.

Do you golf or not?

I bet you won’t wear cut off denim shorts and cowboy boots

Every dude that ever threw a leg over a high performance motocross bike (myself included) wanted to do this and watch those stuffy, plaid shorts wearing oldsters schiittt themselves...🤣

I took this sport up a couple months ago and I couldn't believe the number of parallels between hunting and shooting.

I play four to five days a week since the Believers shut down my local USPSA. It has been a fine substitute.

Does anybody else here love golf?

As I've said here not so long ago, I just started last August.

I just bought a new set of Ping 410's (I liked the Callaway's better but the Pings were much less at the time) with a 410 Driver and a new Ping putter. I got a 3 and 4 420 Hybred but no woods, can't hit a wood to save my azz. I'm still getting used to them. Started last year with a set of Tour Edge cavity backs and a Taylor Made M2 driver. Gave them to my son when I got the new clubs. Still getting used to the new ones and I still suck but I take a flask of Whiskey with me every time I go and have a great time.

I have back issues and need surgery so I am pretty worn out after 18 holes but I've done 36 before. Usually drunk by the end though.

cut off overalls with my PF flyers will take pics.
